NEXT ! The third of the New York boodle aldermen, O'Xeil, will take bis chances to go to Sing Siug aud work for a living such as it is. His trial began on Monday aud if the court pursues a similar course to the forego ing two cases O'Xeil will have to go up too TURNING OUT Democratic clerks is all the go now at the state depart ment in Harrisburg. Three ot Gov. Pattison's clerks got their dismissals and others will have to follow as soon as Republicans can be found to fill the places satisfactorily. But Pennsylva nia is under Republican rule and the Democrats will have to ''walk." WAR between France aud Germany seems inevitable. All indications point to hostilities between these two countries which may break out iu op en battle any time next summer. The dispatches to the press of this country report unusual activity at all the arsenals and the French seem very sanguine about getting Aisace and Loraine back into their possession and have a bitter feeling against anything German. THE chairmanship of the Democrat ic State Committee changed hands at the meeting of the committee in Ilar risburg last Wednesday. Mr. Ilensel, who retired, has filled that position very creditably, considering the disad vantages under which a democratic chairman labors in this state. He has always shown a bold front and never lost hope. Mr. Dallas Sanders,of Philadelphia, his successor, is said to be an active and faithful democrat, and it is be lieved that he will make a good lead er for the party. GOVERNOR BEAVER has met with a sad bereavement since he entered the high office of chief magistrate of this Commonwealth, in the death of his three-year-old son, James A., which occurred on Saturday night. The child had suffered but a brief spell from that dreaded malady, dip theria. James was the pet of the family and was an unusually bright child for his age. The mother U al most prostrated by grief and the many friends of tte afflicted family received the news with sadness and telegrams of condolence were received at the executive mansion from all parts of the state. THE list of the Docemratic County Committee for 188*7 appears at the head of this column. In glancing over the names it must strike an ob servant mind that the chairman, Mr, Jas. A. McClain, selected bis assist ants with circumspection and good judgement Most of the committee men at this end of the county are young and active Democrats who will take a lively interest in the welfare and success of their party in the coun ty. Led by as energetic a chairman as we know Mr. McClain will be the organization of the Democratic forces of Centre county cannot fail to be thorough and effective. THE Harrisburg Patriot in com menting editorially upon the death of Governor Beayer's little son, says there are suspicions that something must be radically wrong in the venti lation or drainage of the executive mansion. It calls attention to it that one ot Governor Hoyt's children was brought to death's door by the same dangerous disease, while Governor Pattigon lost a fine boy by diptheria shortly after his occupancy of the house. A speedy investigation of the surroundings of the building and a re moval of the unhealthful influences, if such exist, is recommended, and it is natural that the people of this state feel the greatest concern for the pres ervation of the health of the chief magistrates families, and urge that if there are any disorders about those premises it should be remedied at once. WHEN is the general settlement day for state business ? is a question very frequently asked and one rather hard to correctly answer, says the Patriot, The fact of the matter is that under the financial system now in vogue there is no time in the year when the commonwealth can properly balance its financial affairs. The fiscal year ends November 30, the appropriation year ends June 30. Licenses are re turnable quarterly on the first days of April, July, October and January, and corporations make report of taxes to the first Monday of November. Under such an arrangement as this? how can it bo expected that a balance sheet shall be made up showing ex clusively the business of any one year in all departments of revenue and ex penditure ? There may exist good reasons why the returns of licenses and corporation taxes should be made at the time specified, but there certainly is no val id reason why the fiscal year and the appropriation year should not be made to conform. HON. LEONARD RHONE, from this county, introduced an important bill in the House of Representatives with the view of equalizing taxation in Pennsylvania. The bill is entitled "an act amendatory of the several acts relating to the assessment and valuation of real, personal and corpo rate property for the purposes of tax ation." The act provides that assess ors shall in April assess all real estate and visible personal propertj at actual cash value, including bonds,mortgages, notes, bills and every other evidence of debt-bearing interest and due fioin sol vent debtors, except only the property exempted by the first section of the ninth article of the State Constitution. The property of piivate corporations included shall be such only as owned by them otherwise than strictly and exclusively for corporate purposes in conducting the authorized business of the company and not clearly represent ed by its taxed corporate stock and shares. One section provides that every tax able person or corporation shall furnish the assessors a written statement of all taxable property. Every evidence of debt not so reported shall be uncollect able by suit and interest thereon for feited. Assessors shall state in the as sessment books the amount secured by dower, mortgage, judgement, giound rent or charge, upon the premises of any taxable i>erson, firm, association or corporation and deduct the same from the valuation of the encumbered prop erty, provided said taxable person,linn, association or corporation shall pay the yearly amount of tax upon such dower, mortgage, judgement or charge to the collector of the tax, which amount the said taxable person, firm, association or corporation shall be entitled to offset as payment for interest or principal upon said dower, mortgage, judgement, ground rent or charge. License taxes upou wholesale and retail venders of merchandise are repealed. The Audit or General and State Treasurer shall annually fix the tax rate upon the capi tal stock and shares of private corpora tions subject to tax. Miscellaneous News. ! Another New England College.

WILKESPARKE, Pa., Jan. 21.—The superintendents of the Lehigh and Wilkfcsbarre and the Delaware and Hudson Coal companies' mines in this city received orders from headquarters to resume work to-morrow.

HARRIS BURG 21. —Samuel Matt Fridy.t'or many years clerk in the olllce ot the Secretary of the Commonwealth and later Prothonotary of Lancaster county, will probably be the next I>p uty Serietary of the Commonwealth. The position was offered him a lew days ago and it is understood he has ac cepted. Ex-Adjutant General Guthrie left for Pittsburg to-day, satisfied that he would not be appointed commander of the Second Brigade National Guard, formerly commanded by General Reav er. Colonel John A. Wily, of Venan iro county, is to have the place. Captain Thomas P. Moloney, Super intendent of the State Arsenal, is to Lo retained on account of his elllcieucy. Robert SnoJgrass, of this city, will probably consent to serve as Deputy Attorney General under Attorney Gen eral Kirk pat rick. In connection with the bill appropri ating SBI,OOO to erect memorial tablets to maik the positions of the eighty-one Pennsylvania regiments in the battle of Gettysburg 011 the Ist, 2nd and ,'bd of July, lsti.l, an effort is being m ide to have a commission created to disburse the money. The soldiers who are press ing the appropriation are opposed to the proposed commission because no necessity exists for its creation. Governor Reaver is kept busy listen ing to personal appeals for office and reading letters of similar import. A bout two thousand persons have thxs far indicated their wil'ingness to till the lifty positions in the gift of the new administration. The letters addressed to the Governor since he assumed the duties ot his offue have become so nu merous that Private Secretary Pearson has been obliged to employ a short hand writer to answer the com nunic a tions, most of which are from anpli. cmts for office or friends representing them.
